We introduce a new general iterative scheme for finding a common element of the set of solutions
of variational inequality problem for an inverse-strongly monotone mapping and the set of fixed points of a nonexpansive mapping in a Hilbert space and then establish strong convergence of the sequence generated by the proposed iterative scheme to a common element of the above two sets under suitable control conditions, which is a solution of a certain optimization problem Applications of the main result are also given
1 Introduction
Let H be a real Hilbert space with inner product ·, · and induced norm · Let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of H and S : C → C be self-mapping on C We denote by
F S the set of fixed points of S and by P C the metric projection of H onto C.
Let A be a nonlinear mapping of C into H The variational inequality problem is to find a u ∈ C such that
We denote the set of solutions of the variational inequality problem1.1 by VIC, A The
variational inequality problem has been extensively studied in the literature; see1 5 and the references therein
Recently, in order to study the problem1.1 coupled with the fixed point problem, many authors have introduced some iterative schemes for finding a common element of the set of the solutions of the problem1.1 and the set of fixed points of nonexpansive mappings; see 6 9 and the references therein In particular, in 2005, Iiduka and Takahashi 8
Trang 2introduced an iterative scheme for finding a common point of the set of fixed points of a
nonexapansive mapping S and the set of solutions of the problem1.1 for an inverse-strong
monotone mapping A: x1∈ C and
x n1 α n x 1 − α n SP C x n − λ n Ax n , n ≥ 1, 1.2
where{α n } ⊂ 0, 1 and {λ n } ⊂ 0, 2α They proved that the sequence generated by 1.2
strongly converges strongly to P F S∩VIC,A x In 2010, Jung10 provided the following new composite iterative scheme for the fixed point problem and the problem1.1: x1 x ∈ C and
y n α n f x n 1 − α n SP C x n − λ n Ax n ,
x n11− β n
y n β n SP C
y n − λ n Ay n
where f is a contraction with constant k ∈ 0, 1,{α n },{β n } ∈ 0, 1, and {λ n } ⊂ 0, 2α He
proved that the sequence{x n} generated by 1.3 strongly converges strongly to a point in
F S ∩ VIC, A, which is the unique solution of a certain variational inequality.
On the other hand, the following optimization problem has been studied extensively
by many authors:
min
x∈Ω
μ
2Bx, x 1
where Ω ∞
n1C n , C1, C2, are infinitely many closed convex subsets of H such that

n1C n / ∅, u ∈ H, μ ≥ 0 is a real number, B is a strongly positive bounded linear operator on
H i.e., there is a constant γ > 0 such that Bx, x ≥ γx2, for all x ∈ H, and h is a potential function for γf i.e., h x γfx for all x ∈ H For this kind of optimization problems,
see, for example, Deutsch and Yamada11, Jung 10, and Xu 12,13 when Ω N

h x x, b for a given point b in H.
In 2007, related to a certain optimization problem, Marino and Xu14 introduced the following general iterative scheme for the fixed point problem of a nonexpansive mapping:
x n1 α n γf x n I − α n B Sx n , n ≥ 0, 1.5
where {α n } ∈ 0, 1 and γ > 0 They proved that the sequence {x n} generated by 1.5 converges strongly to the unique solution of the variational inequality
B − γfx∗, x − x∗
which is the optimality condition for the minimization problem

Trang 3In this paper, motivated by the above-mentioned results, we introduce a new general composite iterative scheme for finding a common point of the set of solutions of the variational inequality problem1.1 for an inverse-strongly monotone mapping and the set
of fixed points of a nonexapansive mapping and then prove that the sequence generated by the proposed iterative scheme converges strongly to a common point of the above two sets, which is a solution of a certain optimization problem Applications of the main result are also discussed Our results improve and complement the corresponding results of Chen et al.6, Iiduka and Takahashi8, Jung 10, and others
2 Preliminaries and Lemmas
Let H be a real Hilbert space and let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of H We write
x n x to indicate that the sequence {x n } converges weakly to x x n → x implies that {x n}
converges strongly to x.
First we recall that a mapping f : C → C is a contraction on C if there exists a constant
k ∈ 0, 1 such that fx − fy ≤ kx − y, x, y ∈ C A mapping T : C → C is called
nonexpansive if Tx − Ty ≤ x − y, x, y ∈ C We denote by FT the set of fixed points of T For every point x ∈ H, there exists a unique nearest point in C, denoted by P C x, such
that
for all y ∈ C P C is called the metric projection of H onto C It is well known that P C is
nonexpansive and P C satisfies
x − y, P C x − P C
y
≥P C x − P C
for every x, y ∈ H Moreover, P C x is characterized by the properties:
x − y2
≥ x − P C x2y − P C x2,
In the context of the variational inequality problem for a nonlinear mapping A, this implies
that
u ∈ VIC, A ⇐⇒ u P C u − λAu, for any λ > 0. 2.4
It is also well known that H satisfies the Opial condition, that is, for any sequence {x n} with
x n x, the inequality
lim inf
n→ ∞ x n − x < lim inf n→ ∞ x n − y 2.5
holds for every y ∈ H with y / x.
Trang 4A mapping A of C into H is called inverse-strongly monotone if there exists a positive real number α such that
for all x, y ∈ C; see 4,7,17 For such a case, A is called α-inverse-strongly monotone We know that if A I ưT, where T is a nonexpansive mapping of C into itself and I is the identity mapping of H, then A is 1/2-inverse-strongly monotone and VIC, A FT A mapping A
of C into H is called strongly monotone if there exists a positive real number η such that
for all x, y ∈ C In such a case, we say A is η-strongly monotone If A is η-strongly monotone and κ-Lipschitz continuous, that is, Ax ư Ay ≤ κx ư y for all x, y ∈ C, then A is η/κ2
-inverse-strongly monotone If A is an α inverse-strongly monotone mapping of C into H, then it is obvious that A is 1/α-Lipschitz continuous We also have that for all x, y ∈ C and
λ > 0,

So, if λ ≤ 2α, then I ư λA is a nonexpansive mapping of C into H The following result for the
existence of solutions of the variational inequality problem for inverse strongly-monotone mappings was given in Takahashi and Toyoda9
Proposition 2.1 Let C be a bounded closed convex subset of a real Hilbert space and let A be an
α-inverse-strongly monotone mapping of C into H Then, VI C, A is nonempty.
A set-valued mapping T : H → 2H is called monotone if for all x, y ∈ H, f ∈ Tx, and
g ∈ Ty imply xưy, fưg ≥ 0 A monotone mapping T : H → 2 H is maximal if the graph GT
of T is not properly contained in the graph of any other monotone mapping It is known that
a monotone mapping T is maximal if and only if for x, f ∈ H ×H, xưy, f ưg ≥ 0 for every
y, g ∈ GT implies f ∈ Tx Let A be an inverse-strongly monotone mapping of C into H and let N C v be the normal cone to C at v, that is, N C v {w ∈ H : vưu, w ≥ 0, for all u ∈ C},
and define

Trang 5We need the following lemmas for the proof of our main results.
Lemma 2.2 In a real Hilbert space H, there holds the following inequality:

for all x, y ∈ H.

Lemma 2.4 Marino and Xu 14 Assume that A is a strongly positive linear bounded operator on
a Hilbert space H with constant γ > 0 and 0 < ρ ≤ B−1 Then I − ρB ≤ 1 − ργ.

Trang 63 Main Results
In this section, we present a new general composite iterative scheme for inverse-strongly monotone mappings and a nonexpansive mapping
Theorem 3.1 Let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of a real Hilbert space H such that C ± C ⊂
C Let A be an α-inverse-strongly monotone mapping of C into H and S a nonexpansive mapping of
C into itself such that F S ∩ VIC, A / ∅ Let u ∈ C and let B be a strongly positive bounded linear
operator on C with constant γ ∈ 0, 1 and f a contraction of C into itself with constant k ∈ 0, 1.
Assume that μ > 0 and 0 < γ < 1 μγ/k Let {x n } be a sequence generated by

where {λ n } ⊂ 0, 2α, {α n } ⊂ 0, 1, and {β n } ⊂ 0, 1 Let {α n }, {λ n }, and {β n } satisfy the following
conditions:

iv∞n1|α n1− α n | < ∞,∞n1|β n1− β n | < ∞,∞n1|λ n1− λ n | < ∞.
Then {x n } converges strongly to q ∈ FS ∩ VIC, A, which is a solution of the optimization problem

where h is a potential function for γf.

that α n ≤ 1 μB−1 Recall that if B is bounded linear self-adjoint operator on H, then
Observe that

Now we divide the proof into several steps
Step 1 We show that {x n } is bounded To this end, let z n P C x n − λ n Ax n and w n P C y n−
λ n Ay n for every n ≥ 1 Let p ∈ FS ∩ VIC, A Since I − λ n A is nonexpansive and p
P C p − λ n Ap from 2.4, we have
z n − p ≤ x n − λ n Ax n −p − λ n Ap
Similarly, we have
Now, set B I μB Let p ∈ FS ∩ VIC, A Then, from IS and 3.4, we obtain

Therefore, {x n } is bounded So {y n }, {z n }, {w n }, {fx n }, {Ax n }, {Ay n }, and {BSz n} are bounded Moreover, sinceSz n − p ≤ x n − p and Sw n − p ≤ y n − p, {Sz n } and {Sw n} are also bounded And by the conditioni, we have

≤ x n − x n−1 |λ n − λ n−1|Ax n−1. 3.10
